Chapter Ninety-Eight: Action!
'Rachel. The appearance of McAdams' didn't shock Link much, but it just felt too much of a coincidence. $100 + degrees + search + small + say + net + see + most + new + chapter + section ****
However, since God had arranged it this way, Link himself could only accept it gladly.
But it's okay, at least the role of 'Annie' is there, so you don't have to bother looking for it.
Rachel. McAdams's acting skills can definitely easily win this role.
And now, he is still missing one of the most important people.
A prison near Washington.
Link leaned quietly against the corner of the wall, staring at the two people sitting opposite each other not far away.
One of them was dressed in a prison uniform with a calm expression. The person across from him sat quietly, listening.
The voice of a man in prison uniform echoed in the visitor's cell.
“…… Falling in love with a friend's wife is a disaster that can destroy two families. His expression was quiet, and he said softly, "He is my best friend, but we are in love with the same woman." Until...... Until I thought he was dead, I thought my chance had come. ”
The man in prison uniform stared at the person sitting opposite, and there was a hint of urgency in his words: "Can you understand how I felt at that time? I just want to take care of his wife and children, because her wife is also the person I have always loved deeply. ”
Sitting across from 'Joe. Burns nodded, "I understand." ”
Hearing his words, the man in prison uniform smiled with relief: "I love her, and she also needs a man to rely on." I knew very well that she had no love for me at all, she was just taking care of her son. But ......"
Speaking of this, the man in prison uniform held back tears, and his lips trembled and said, "But he is not dead, my best friend." Her husband, however, did not die. He still held back, and finally cried out loudly: "Why...... Why didn't he die......"
Joe. Burns patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
When the prison jǐng announced that it was time for the visitation, the man in prison uniform was led in the direction of the iron gate by two uniformed men.
Joe. Burns looked at him quietly, only to find that the other party had suddenly stopped. Glancing back at him, "Don't kill him, okay?" Even if it's just an American drama, but ...... Don't kill your best friend. ”
Until the other party's figure disappeared, Joe. Burns was still in a stupor, and his ears seemed to echo the words of the other party when he was leaving.
'Don't kill him, okay?' Even if it's just an American drama, but ...... Don't kill your best friend. ’
Joe. Burns' mouth moved, as if he was still silently reciting the words.
"Burns. Did you find it? Link walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Asked in a whisper.
Joe. Burns turned around a little stiffly, glanced at him, and nodded slightly, but his expression was still very complicated, as if he was still deeply trapped in the prisoner's state of mind, unable to extricate himself.
Link on the side saw his expression. all have to admire: "is worthy of being a drama actor, and he entered the play so quickly." ”
This Joe. Burns is the actor who plays 'Sean' in the play "The Walking Dead".
'Sean' is the main character's 'Rick'''s best friend and colleague. The important xìng of this horn sè is almost the biggest one in the entire "The Walking Dead".
Although the performance difficulty of the role of 'Sean' is not necessarily the greatest, he is the most critical 'contradictory inspiration' in the whole play.
Joe who plays 'Sean'. Burns, a well-known theatrical actor, was also the last role chosen by Link.
In the past few days, Link has put down the affairs of the entire crew and made a special trip to Washington to find him. And he also took him to every prison, constantly visiting those criminals who 'killed their best friends with their own hands'.
If nothing else, just because the role of 'Sean' is too important, and Joe. Burns didn't disappoint him either. By communicating with those criminals for many days in a row, and constantly digging into their psychological activities, Joe . Burns is finally fully 'in the play'.
It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is 'in the play', because "The Walking Dead" has not officially started filming. But the character of 'Sean' is a character with a strong 'psychological ambivalence'.
Joe, who is a theatrical actor. Burns, compared to the average film and television actor, is easier to fit into this role.
If there is any actor in this world who can best enter the play, it is definitely a drama actor. When they perform on stage, they can forget about the audience and immerse themselves in the inner world of the horn.
Of course, it's not that film and television actors are inferior to them, it's just that the two performing art forms are very different.
Movies and TV series are shot shot shot by shot, and the actors are constantly entering and exiting the play, entering the play, entering the play, and going out of the play.
In addition, movies and TV series are not filmed from beginning to end according to the script process, which causes the actors to constantly change their psychological state.
But the role of 'Sean' is different, because throughout the play, from beginning to end, 'Sean''s psychological state has always been in an extremely complex situation.
There is nothing in this corner that requires a psychological transformation, because the role of 'Sean' is just like the experience of the prisoner just now. He is deeply in love with the heroine 'Laurie', and her husband is his best friend.
The reason why I will look for Joe. A very important reason why Burns came to play the role of 'Sean' is that he also participated in the filming of last year's "CSI/CIS", and worked with the protagonist 'Rick' Andrew . Lincoln, had a good relationship with friends.
This also allows Joe. Burns was quicker to get closer to the mental state of the role of 'Sean'.
When the two left the prison in the car, Joe, who was sitting next to Link. Burns suddenly said in a low voice: "Mr. Link, I need a night of thinking time, my mood is very difficult to calm down now, this is not the state of an actor, I hope you understand." ”
Link nodded silently and looked at Joe. Burns's jīng god is a bit decadent, and Link knows he can't get out of his inner world just yet. He does need a little time to digest it well, and it also helps him to adjust his mentality better.
Will Joe. After Burns was sent home. Link drove back to New York and had dinner with Mila.
Although Mira also wants to go to Atlanta, the filming of the second season of "The Big Bang Theory" still needs her, and there is no way to do it.
When Link boarded his flight to Atlanta that night, Mira's reluctance to leave the airport echoed in his mind.
In the middle of the night, Link arrived at the filming site.
Although it was already late. But the crew is still busy.
"Hey, Mr. Link, how are you going to see how these silicone molds are done?"
Seeing Link appear, the special effects makeup artists who were busy brought over the 'zombie face', which was almost finished.
These 'zombie faces' are just pieces of silicone models that need to be attached to the actors' faces. to see the desired effect.
"Well, it's not bad." Link nodded. said with a smile: "You are the professional, I only know how to film, as long as you think these things are okay, then there will definitely be no problem." ”
Seeing Link speak so easily, those special effects makeup artists breathed a sigh of relief. What worries them the most is that the director and producer keep asking them to revise and redo it. In the end, it was similar to the face model I had made before.
Because, they were in other crews before, and they would almost often encounter this kind of problem.
Link, on the other hand, is a self-aware man. He understands the drawbacks of a layman guiding an insider. As long as they make everything they envision perfectly, that's fine.
As soon as he returned to the crew, Link began to get busy non-stop.
Since filming was going to start early this morning, he had to make sure that nothing went wrong at every step.
"Mr. Director, you're here." Mario, the field attendant, hurriedly ran over, his black face very rough. If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a white T-shirt, it would not be easy for Link to see him in the dark.
"Mario, everything is normal with the crew?"
Mario smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Director, with me Mario here, there won't be any problems." ”
"Is the hospital connected? We're going to start shooting at 4 o'clock in the morning. ”
Thanks to Andrew. Lincoln's bearded 'influence', he had to first shoot the main character 'Rick', after being shot and then hospitalized.
Because, you can't finish a shot and continue to wait for him to grow a new beard?
After explaining all the things that Mario needed to pay attention to, Link came to a makeshift rest area, and there was a small dressing room next to it.
When Link walked in, he happened to see Andrew. Lincoln was surrounded in the middle by makeup artists.
Link didn't intend to disturb them, but stood aside and watched silently.
Andrew. Lincoln, who was portrayed by a makeup artist as a pale, frail face. Although the makeup has not been completely set yet, from Link's point of view, it is indeed very satisfying.
Time passed quite quickly, and at about 4 o'clock in the morning, Link rushed to the hospital where the "Walking Dead" crew had made an appointment.
The small ward was filled with a large number of staff.
Andrew who plays the main character 'Rick'. Lincoln was lying on the bed, communicating with Link while receiving touch-ups from the makeup artist.
"Lincoln, you've read the script for this scene, so I won't say too much."
Link stood next to the camera, talking incessantly.
"I just want to emphasize one thing, 'weakness'! A state of weakness that hasn't healed from a gunshot, you know? ”
Andrew. Lincoln nodded, his body wrapped in bandages, his unshaven face was pale and pale, his lips were white and skinny, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken, all the work of a makeup artist.
Although he already has an outward 'sick look', he still needs Andrew. Lincoln will show the 'weak' side with his heart.
"Don't worry, director, I know what to do."
Andrew. Lincoln was a little nervous, but still very confident.
"Good." Link nodded, then shouted at the staff behind him.
"Attention departments, the gaffer is in place, Mario clears the scene, and the cameraman prepares."
As Link's continuous voice sounded, the small ward suddenly became a lot more spacious, and the gaffer set the light effect, and suddenly the entire ward was filled with a cold light.
“!”
Link gave an order, and the first shooting officially began!
